Doncaster Apple Store Grand Opening Wrap-Up

dsc_0945

Apple’s 5th Australian store and the 2nd in Melbourne opened on Saturday morning at Westfield Doncaster to the usual fanfare and cult-like invasion by Apple nerds across the state. A couple of MacTalkers (matthewlesh, matt11, mattydee and neg2led) were at the front of the line, camping out in the center overnight, then triumphantly enforcing their geek cred, entering the store first. Approximately 300 people were lined up by 9AM. Everyone scored their t-shirts, played around on the Macs, pawed some iPhones or iPods and said “this is a cool shop” then left. Some probably even purchased stuff. There’s loads of photos and videos from the opening in this thread on our forums.
